A note about refunds/credits for our summer camps

We understand that plans can change, and we do our best to be as flexible as possible. At the same time, when you reserve a camp spot, that space is held specifically for your child and is no longer available to another family.

If you need to change weeks, we are happy to try to accommodate your request based on availability.

If a switch to an alternate week is not possible and we can fill your original spot, we can offer one of the following options:

  • A credit toward any class or camp to be used within the next six months, or

  • A 50% refund to the original form of payment.

If the original spot cannot be filled, we are unable to provide a refund or credit, as staffing and supplies are reserved in advance.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us continue to offer high-quality, small-group cooking experiences for our campers.
